This is something that drives me, and I'm sure other admins and DMs, insane. As you know, RfRs get closed two days after the last vote. That means we have to look at the date on which each vote was posted to see how much time is left. Now, this would be easy and all...

Except for the fact that almost no-one has timestamps in their signatures. Why? Because users can't be bothered to type four tildes at the end of their vote. In case you don't know what it means, here are the tildes: ~~~~. These four tildes automatically convert into a signature which you can modify in Special:Preferences with an included timestamp, which makes it super-easy for admins and DMs to know when the user voted.

I'm proposing that users are required to use these four tildes for their signature. It's a courtesy towards the people responsible for keeping track of RfRs.

the easy way: check the page history
the easier way: everybody uses ~~~~

just leaving this here on this vote. my side will never win

It's not the easier way if you have to dig into your preferences just to change your signature.

or they could just use whatever their normal signature is and ~~~~~ and voila you have a timestamp

Fair enough, but I still think that the idea of requiring a user to place a timestamp is ridiculous. It should be the job of the person closing the RfR to check and make sure that dates and times are in order. Not to mention, like what if I choose not to use a timestamp, even if it's required? I'm not going to be blocked for it, so this whole ordeal just seems like another hoop to add to the mess of hoops that we already have to jump through, as a whole.

Nobody said you didn't have feelings. It's just that when you misbehave, you get some rights taken away from you. It seems fair to me,

Now, I'm not gonna start a flame war over this. Like Hype told you, this wiki probably isn't for you. I'm not telling you to leave, but if this place makes you upset, then I suggest you go somewhere else.

every other place just doesn't feel the same.... no good chat, no good blogs, this is the only good place ;(

Then perhaps with that in mind you'll behave yourself here from now on.
